I’ve been editing pictures all morning. Last week I mentioned on our facebook account that I’d spent the day in Perry, Okla., photographing wrestlers for a story about the tradition and history of the sport in the small Oklahoma town.

I still have plenty of work to do, editing sound and putting together the slideshow, but here’s a quick preview of the project. Look for Matt Patterson’s story in the Sports section of Friday’s newspaper and check back here for links to the online story, pictures and slideshow.

  First frame looks great. Perry is definitely a powerhouse. I can't wait to get a look into an Oklahoma town that is all about wrestling rather than football. Should be interesting.
